LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE
ABOUT THE EPISODE
Pastor Nirup Alphonse joins Sarah to talk about some of the unexpected things that have surfaced in fatherhood. Nirup shares stories from early parenthood, including how his cultural background impacted his perspective, and what he’s learned along the way—about not only diapering, but also what it looks like to be a daily disciple-maker with his kids. Sarah and Nirup spend a bulk of the conversation discussing what it looks like to parent through the lens of becoming, the need to build trust, and the power of forgiveness.
